Flow and Snow in Complex Terrain: across-scale modelling for a correct surface mass balance

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Franziska Gerber, Daniela Brito Melo, Nander Wever, Armin Sigmund, David Nicholas Wagner

Preferential deposition of snow precipitation, snow transport and snow sublimation modify the mass which gets incorporated into or removed from the seasonal or perennial snow cover. These processes happen at very small scales from snow grain size to larger ...

Exploring alternative possibilities for sublimation measurements over snow and ice surfaces

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Franziska Gerber, Armin Sigmund

Sublimation of snow is a major depletion mechanism, particularly in dry and windy environments such as high mountains or polar regions. Yet the quantification of the latent heat flux is a difficult task, and both measurements and estimates from models stil ...

Meteorology and snow transport at S17 near Syowa, Antarctica, in austral summer 2018/2019

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Daniela Brito Melo, Francesco Comola, Armin Sigmund

This dataset contains measurement and simulation data. The measurements characterize the standard meteorology, turbulence, and snow transport at the S17 site near Syowa Station in East Antarctica during an expedition in austral summer 2018/2019. Large-eddy ...

Bioclimatic conditions of the Lower Silesia region (South-West Poland) from 1966 to 2017

Paolo Perona

This work analyses the temporal and spatial characteristics of bioclimatic conditions in the Lower Silesia region. The daily time values (12UTC) of meteorological variables in the period 1966–2017 from seven synoptic stations of the Institute of Meteorolog ...

Multi-scale modeling of the urban meteorology: Integration of a new canopy model in the WRF model

Dasaraden Mauree, Alain Clappier

Urban parametrizations have been recently developed and integrated in mesoscale meteorological models for a better reproduction of urban heat islands and to compute building energy consumption. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the value of ...

Measurement of the impact of buildings on meteorological variables

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Laurent Deschamps, Pierre Loesch, Paul Becquelin

A meteorological tower was installed on the EPFL campus in a semi-urban environment for the high frequency monitoring of the micro-climate. This project was done in the larger framework of the measurement of the meteorological profiles and also a quantific ...

Multi-scale modelling to evaluate building energy consumption at the neighbourhood scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Silvia Coccolo

A new methodology is proposed to couple a meteorological model with a building energy use model. The aim of such a coupling is to improve the boundary conditions of both models with no significant increase in computational time. In the present case, the Ca ...

How do patchy snow covers affect turbulent sensible heat fluxes? – Numerical analysis and experimental findings

Michael Lehning, Sebastian Schlögl

The surface energy balance of a snow cover significantly changes once the snow cover gets patchy. The substantial progress in knowledge about the surface energy balance of patchy snow covers is a mandatory requirement to reduce biases in flux parameterizat ...

Evaluation of modelled snow depth and snow water equivalent at three contrasting sites in Switzerland using SNOWPACK simulations driven by different meteorological data input

Michael Lehning, Charles Fierz

The knowledge of certain snow indices such as the number of snow days, maximum snow depth and snow water equivalent or the date of snow disappearance is important for many economical and ecological applications. However, snow data are frequently not availa ...

Downscaling a global climate model to simulate climate change over the US and the implication on regional and urban air quality

Athanasios Nenes, Pengfei Liu

Climate change can exacerbate future regional air pollution events by making conditions more favorable to form high levels of ozone. In this study, we use spectral nudging with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to downscale NASA earth system ...
